I'm using UBCD for a long time ago. My last move (there is a few weeks) was to try the B12 version, and today, i try to move all my stuff to the new RC1 version.

First, very good job (and impressive).

I've got a few problems with some of my floppy images.

I've made floppy images for a few programs (not included in UBCD) such as Norton Ghost 2001, Norton Ghost 8 corporate and Norton Ghost 11. The problem is not only with these files but also on boot floppies (for flashing mainboard). I'm using the install floppy (for windows 98 second edition and the install floppy for windows millenium). Everything works until today when i try to customise the RC1.

In the custom file (custom.cfg) here is the configuration to start on my image file :

If you don't want this bug in UBCD50 final, I need your help.
I can make an iso image with all memdisk version between the one on UBCD50b12 and UBCD50RC1 and let you test all those on your real PC, so the Syslinux developers can figure out where things did go wrong.
Do you have time for it?

If you use a USB stick too boot them:
- make a dir /boot/syslinux/backup
- move all files (except ldlinux.sys) from/boot/syslinux/ to /boot/syslinux/backup/
- extract the iso to /boot/syslinux/.
- rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg

About the retry with UBCD50RC1 and my custom floppies. It seems to works. I've also made an tweaking on the file custom.cfg.

When i'm editing my file with gedit (under Ubuntu 9.10) i have mistakes in the text generated in the file. I've seen this trouble with a tool (under windows called CDMENU.exe), the configuration file is cdmenu.cfg. I create that file under linux and i've try to run the tool under windows and i have mistakes in the format of the file. So the tool refuse to launch.

I'm just end to try on a netbook (acer aspire one a150), i've got a usb cdrom drive, i've try to start a custom floppy image, it's starts (boot on my custom floppy) and freeze my netbook before the end of execution. I've tried with UBCD50B12 same issue.

I've also checked the same tool on my others pcs, seems to meet the same problem. Tool : Powerquest Partition Magic DOS version 8.0

But with my very old UBCD 3.4 it works fine (same custom floppy).

With UBCD50B12 and UBCD50RC1 it stucks at the same time after loading himem.sys.
